Didier Raoult

Raoult in 2021 Didier Raoult (; born 13 March 1952) is a retired French physician and microbiologist specialising in infectious diseases. He taught about infectious diseases at the Faculty of Medicine of Aix-Marseille University (AMU), and in 1984, created the ''Rickettsia'' Unit of the university. From 2008 to 2022, Raoult was the director of the ''Unité de Recherche sur les Maladies Infectieuses et Tropicales Emergentes''. He gained significant worldwide attention during the COVID-19 pandemic for vocally promoting hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the disease, despite lack of evidence for its effectiveness and the subsequent opposition from NIH and WHO to its use for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients.

As of 2024, 28 of Raoult's research publications have been retracted, and at least another 218 of his publications have received an expression of concern from their publishers, due to questions related to ethics approval for his studies. Provided by Wikipedia
